defense attorney, jennifer bonjean. great to have you here. >> welcome. uma: how do you successful will the civil rights groups will be when they take aim at what governor brewer has done? >> i think they're going to be successful. i think the federal law is what controls here, but i understand where the governor's coming from. her state is the one that suffers the most apparently by people coming here illegally. she needs to stand up. she needs to make a statement. she needs to say, we're not going to tolerate this, even if she will wind up losing in the federal court system. even if the federal judges say, no, no, this is federal issue. this isn't a state issue. there are certain issues, governor, you're in charge of but there are other issues where the president is in charge. uma: why isn't this seen as state issue particularly the time it will affect the citizens of that state? >> there is something called the supremacy clause. this is recalcitrant act by jan brewer. she is saying i will ignore president obama's exe

tomorrow the court will consider the defense of marriage act. that law defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman and prevents gay couples from collecting federal benefits. tim o'brien has covered the u.s. supreme court for two decades, he was inside for today's arguments. author of a book, a new book "murder at the supreme court, lethal crimes and landmark cases." that's what people are saying about this case that it is a landmark case and all of the comparisons are being made to brown versus the board of education, to row v wade. what comparisons work here if at all. >> in so farce the questions are concerned the comparisons you gave work just fine. the questions are huge. this could be the brown versus board of education for gay and lesbian people, that's based on the question. we don't know what the answer will be of course. in fact i would venture that nobody does, not even the justices who heard the case this morning. they will vote tomorrow and then at least they will know. they were all over the map with their questions today. as

samuels was not brought in to justify self-defense. he was brought in for the limited purpose of explaining why jodi cannot remember what happened when she was stabbing him 27 times. it's not as important -- his testimony is not as important as mr. martinez would like us to believe. they are hitting him with cheap shots that weren't necessary either. i don't believe that samuels was a very necessary witness because jodi has already admitted that she is the one who killed him. how she remembers doing it without remembering how she did it is a question that the defense is going to have to answer. but she's already claimed -- she's already admitted she's done it. i don't know why he's spending so much time on this. >> she says she forgets all the facts. this guy came in to testify that she suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome. watching the segment about that young marine in iraq i find it repugnant that this woman would assert this defense. he testified that she can't remember because she suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome

at the defense table? >> sure. and i'm sure they have. i'm sure they're saying, tone it down. keep a neutral face. but your clients don't always listen to you. that's the problem with being an attorney. you can tell your client, you can advise them, lead them to the water, but you can't get them to drink. jon: this jury has been hearing this case now, i mean, it heard from her for something like 18 days of her own testimony. nobody knows yet when rebuttal, i'm sorry, when closing arguments are going to take place. faith, they have got to be getting tired of this by now, aren't they? >> i'm sure they probably are. listen, i don't think the two expert witness and other witness they're bringing will really make a difference in the jury's mind. they want to hear from jodi arias and now they have. so in their minds, they're obligated to sit and listen to all the evidence and not make a decision until the conclusion of the case but they have to be thinking at this point, they have heard her testimony now. what i

the defense is trying to rebuild the defense of joed. cody: with dr. richard samuels. he was on the stand as you mentioned, jon, talking about post-tramatic stress disorder and that was he thought she was dealing with and would explain the fact that she is having memory issues. the problem is, once cross-examination began with the prosecutor he got him to admit really she kind of lied to him which throws out the whole idea that he was able to determine she had post-tramatic stress disorder. take a listen to this interchange. >> what you are telling me is that the validity or the, this test really is only as good as the person who is telling or filling it out, right? >> that's true. >> so if they're lying, then the test is not very good? >> that's correct. >> and in this case we do have a circumstance where you know that the defendant's lying and she lied on the test, right? >> well, her answers didn't reflect what we ultimately discovered. >> right. so she lied, right? >> yes. or her answers may have been consistent with the story she was telling. >> reporter: once aga

these are purely defensive missiles. they're only intended to shoot down the rogue missile fired from north korea. they're very effective at what they do and by doubling the number of missiles we make the west coast of the united states more secure. no, this is just chinese bluster and the message from the united states back to china through the state department hopefully as, you need to talk to the actor who is going to cause all the mischief in that country. and oh, by the way, if something terrible should happen the chinese as well as the north koreans would be affected, jenna. jenna: how big of a risk do you think all of this bluster is to the tens of thousands of americans troops on the ground still in south korea? >> yeah. see that's really important, jenna because most of the media is focusing on the west coast of the united states. remember we have 28,000 american soldiers in south korea and their families and many of those folks are living in seoul and south of seoul in various camps and stations and airbases an

delay is a friend of the defense. if you get a couple of jurors having some doubt, it is not hard to make that reasonable doubt, resulting in at least a hung jury if not an acquittal. jon: what about the gas cans? she filled up a couple of gas cans apparently to take road trip after the murder. the prosecution says, that proves pre, that she had preplanned her escape? >> right. jon: where does it fit in? >> they will argue in closing arguments when they wrap the case up all together, this case has gone on for many, many weeks at this point so they want to hone in and focus on facts that support their case. they will argue, listen, this was all planned. she didn't want to purchase gas in the area to have any receipts to show she was in the area and she purchased the gas to travel with it. it was all part of a premeditated plan to kill travis alexander. jon: you say the gas cans in the southwest -- >> jon, i'm a tried and true new yorker. i'm used to go have a gas station on the corner. all i can say when i graduated la
